Today started with gross, crusty pink eye. Sorry! That was graphic. The problem is, I don't have my sweet doctor here. And our new insurance cards haven't arrived yet. Running to the doctor isn't what it used to be! So, I researched online and made phone calls and worked to figure out the best way to do this. Two doctor's offices (all I could find online) in town didn't have anything available today, so I was advised to go to Urgent Care at the hospital down the road. Ugh. I was nervous this was going to be like the ER and I would be sitting and waiting for hours. So, I got Kara set up to do school independently, and went to the hospital. I packed a book and lunch and dinner! Back in Maryland, an Urgent Care office that doesn't take appointments would have me waiting 4+ hours! Well, I walked into a room with one person waiting! By the time I figured out how to pay, got my paperwork set up, and helped Kara with a long division problem via text, I was being called back right away to see the doctor. Ah. May. Zing.
I gave them two hours to send the prescription to CVS before I went to pick it up. Nope, it still wasn't there. So, I took a seat and waited for them to work it out. When that was all taken care of, I brought watermelon to the roofing guys, deposited a check in the bank, and picked up lunch for Michael and I.
It was SUCH a pretty day today. The humidity was low and my car said it was only about 80 degrees. The shade was so nice and cool! I sat on the back porch and did some Bible study.

I couldn't help but pause and take a look at the view.
I waved as golf carts drove by. :-) |
Then Kara skyped with her friend Ellie from Maryland.
Then we went to the new house to get the bowl that had the watermelon in it.
 |
| See part of the roof done over the garage? |
 |
You can see some of the roof and look at those big
piles of stone!!! They are going on the house soon! |
 |
| More roof, more stone. |
 |
This is what the stone looks like. We are putting it
up in a stacked stone way so it looks a little more uniform. |

crank out window open (you can see it in the

another big pile of stone. |

The low humidity made the green trees an emerald color.
The clear blue sky made the water a sapphire blue.
STUNNING. |

Look at that big pile of sand! Kara wanted to dive in,
but we only had 15 minutes at the house tonight.
She said, "can I at least poke it?" :-) Sure! |
 |
I wanted a picture of how much roof is done, but the sun
was setting behind the house. I used the car to block
the sun so you can actually see the house.
Kara had to put her hand in there. :-) |
 |
Michael's garage still doesn't have the roof on. I don't
envy them - it is steep! |
Then we came home so I could Skype with Stephanie. It was so great and we both have a hard time saying goodbye - even if to just hang up.
Kara's throat hurts, which is so awful. Mine hurt for a few days then went away - I'm pretty sure it was allergies. Kara insists it's not allergies for her though. I hope she is well enough to travel next week!
